Please ignore last message.

Apparently I have 2 hands, but both are left hands.(freshly cloned OS with no existing preinstall seemed to work fine and works even after 'systemctl stop slapd ; systemctl start slapd')

Can anyone suggest good book for administration of OpenLDAP on Linux/CentOS. Ideally for kid 5 and up, with many pictures and suitable for 'late bloomer'.

Thanks!

Dmitri

Subject: any working documentation?

Hello.


I am new to the list, so if you gonna beat me with your feet - please don't hit me in the face.

I did not find help/user list. So post here.

Where can I find working documentation for OpenLDAP?

Most current i found:

https://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/quickstart.html

It says nothing of TLS encryption. I fail to start service

See output below:



TLSMC: MozNSS compatibility interception begins.

Where can I submit errata to documentation maintainer?(as quick start clearly doesn't work in my default install of OpenLDAP on CentOS 7)

And how can I start SLAPD without encryption?

I can generate self signed private/public key and make ln -s of my CA cert folder to 'cacertdir = `/etc/openldap'', but this seems SOOO unnecessary. At least on 'try out' step.

Thanks in advance
